I would tell you to go read the Vorkosigan saga but they generally don't meet your criteria. I assume 14 books (+2 in the same universe but out of main continuity) falls under the umbrella of "a thousand". Although you could just read the first two, the Cordelia books (Shards of Honor and Barrayar) and decide from there if you want in on the series aspect. The books have gotten longer as the series goes on, my omnibus of the two (called Cordelia's Honor) is 590 pages but that's TWO novels.

Oh! The Witches of Karres by James Schmitz is very under-appreciated but it's very funny and short. I'm not 100% sure if it should be classified as fantasy or SF but there's space travel and the witches are aliens so I'll go with SF.

I'd also recommend the Vorkosigan books, and note that while it's a long series, they tend to stand alone or come in sets. The omnibuses actually break them up pretty well, except that they don't include Memory, which is a pretty important part of the series. But the OP could easily start with either the first or second of the omnibus editions. (The first omnibus being about Cordelia, the second being about Miles.)

I'm still kind of sad that the Vorkosigan books aren't on that Baen CD site anymore. They're such fun.

That's where I got them, back when they were still up! Lois asked for them to be removed because she was releasing the e-books herself. They are not difficult to find, though.
